Have you ever thought about the credibility of blogs and websites you browse online? As you are reading through my blog posts, you may or may not have considered where I am getting my information from, how accurately I am portraying it and whether it is useful information. This week I will be going over two reputable information security websites, and by the end of my blog you will get an understanding on why they are both reputable sources. It is crucial in finding the best sources online to become knowledgeable and not waste your time on the internet. The first website I will be going over is www.itsecurityguru.org. IT Security Guru is a daily news digest consisting of all the latest Information Security news and trends. The main editor and blogger of this website is Dean Alvarez, who has his own section called editor news. The hierarchy of the website from top to bottom includes breaking news, top stories, editor’s news, latest Infosec videos, analysis, and lastly case studies. As you can tell, IT Security Guru offers a wide variety of information on its website, but how can we tell if its credible? First, this website offers the latest Infosec news and it backs it up by frequently posting up-to-date content. The most recent news article was from less than a week ago, and this shows that the news on this website is recent and up-to-date. The website is affiliated with vpnMentor, a website that has expert reviews on VPNs, which are Virtual Private Networks. vpnMentor also ranked IT Security Guru as a top 15 Security Blogger in the world. The intended audience for this website is anyone with an interest in information security and wants to be in the loop with the most recent news. The website also has a section for job listings from reputable organizations, and these listings have all sorts of positions required in the cybersecurity field. IT Security Guru is a perfect website to visit if you want a quick read on the latest information security related news and analysis. www.itsecurityguru.orgThe second website is www.infosecurity-magazine.com. Infosecurity Magazine is a website that has been offering news articles, free webinars, whitepapers and virtual conferences. Infosecurity Magazine gets its name from being a popular magazine before the online edition was launched. The magazine has been around for the past decade and is still offered through a subscription. But why get the magazine when you can get all the content plus online services from the website! Infosecurity is a platform part of the Infosecurity Group that ranges from parts across the world. There is an Infosecurity Europe, North America, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Russia, Mexico and Middle East. Every year there is an event called Infosecurity Europe. Infosecurity is the largest and most wide-ranging conference program that includes over 400 exhibitors showcasing their recent information security products and solutions. The event has roughly 20,000 information security professionals who attend every year. I would say just from the worldwide significance and the fact it has been a published magazine over a decade, makes the affiliated website a compelling and credible source which is worth your time to visit. The main goal for Infosecurity magazine is to provide year-round, award-winning editorial content and in-depth analysis from industry experts. This sort of information is intended for everyone interested to be a part of the cybersecurity realm, so please make a visit to Infosecurity magazine is you want to enrich your knowledge and stay up-to-date. There is an endless amount of information out there on the world wide web. In conclusion, you must be wary in the sources you access online, and in this case, we are talking specifically about blogs. Finding credible sources for blogs will help you gain the most up to date knowledge in your field and you can trust everything you are reading about. The two websites I went over in this post are two credible and highly informative cybersecurity blogs and serve as excellent examples if you are looking for blogs in another field.
